tinySpell (Spell checker)

Occasionally you need to check the spelling of words in an application that does not include a spelling checker and you don't want to launch your word processor just for that. This is when tinySpell becomes handy. It is a small utility that allows you to easily and quickly check the spelling of words in any Windows application. tinySpell monitors your typing on the fly and alerts you whenever it detects a misspelled word. It also checks the spelling of every word you copy to the clipboard.
tinySpell installs itself in the system tray for easy access. It comes with an American-English dictionary containing more than 110,000 words.

Checking your spelling is simple:
Option 1:
While you are typing, tinySpell monitors the text you enter and whenever it detects a misspelled word it beeps and the tinySpell icon in the system tray turns from white

to yellow

.

Option 2:
When you copy a word to the clipboard tinySpell checks its spelling immediately. Again, if the word is misspelled you hear a beep and the tinySpell icon turns to yellow. If the icon is white the word is spelled correctly.

Correcting a misspelled word is also simple:
When a misspelled word is detected, click the tinySpell icon or press the hot-key to pop up a list of suggested replacement words from which you can select a correction. The selected word is inserted into your document, or is copied to the clipboard (so you can paste it in your document), or both (depending on your settings).

Versions:
1.1:Words can be added to the dictionary.
1.2:A hot-key opens the list of replacement words at the current position in the document.
1.3:A hot-key disables/enables tinySpell.

tinySpell is a freeware.
